About this eBook

Author Heyse, Paul, 1830-1914
Title L'Arrabbiata
Credits Produced by Juliet Sutherland and Mike Pullen
Summary "L'Arrabbiata" by Paul Heyse is a novella written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds in the picturesque settings of Sorrento and Capri in Italy, capturing the lives of local fishermen and villagers. The book likely discusses themes of love, resilience, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly through the lens of its young protagonist, Laurella. The plot centers around Laurella, a headstrong young woman known as "l'Arrabbiata," which translates to "the angry one." The story begins with her embarking on a journey to Capri with Padre Curato and a young fisherman named Antonino. Throughout the trip, Laurella's backstory unfolds, revealing her difficult upbringing marked by an abusive father, which has led her to avoid romantic entanglements and to remain fiercely independent. A series of intense interactions between Laurella and Antonino exposes their simmering emotions, culminating in a dramatic confrontation that hinges on trust and love. Ultimately, the novella explores Laurella’s internal struggles and her evolving relationship with Antonino, culminating in a poignant declaration of love that hints at a hopeful future beyond their personal hardships.
